you used to puff steam
I used to puff joints
when that was cool
we'd sit beside you,
I used to love you as much
as my useless boyfriend
now you're both gone
and I sit in your shadow
and listen to my CDs
"get out, stand back
if you don't let go -
you're gonna break me"
I'm so sorry
you're all burnt up
blue is copper
you are a frame
I can't ever tell
if that means you want
someone to build you up again
or if you just want
torn all the way down
the hell with it
I can't ever tell
